Helen Halliday is an
experienced tutor who has taught all standards of painting from
complete beginners to professional artists. Her enthusiasm for her
subject is infectious, and her patient and encouraging way of
teaching gives every student the chance to progress in their own way
without feeling inhibited. She shares her experience and knowledge
in a relaxed and informal manner and gives demonstrations to help
illustrate ideas and techniques. Although she is happy to suggest
ways to approach a subject or methods of using the materials, she is
keen to point out that rules are there to be broken and that each
individual has their own unique interests and way of working.

Some comments by recent guests on Helen’s tuition:

'I have discovered a whole new world out there’
'You are so kind, patient and gentle Helen!’

'I shall now try to look at things in different ways – and try lots
of experimentation! Inspiring!’

'Grateful for the nice room, great food and Helen’s tuition, with
her contemporary ideas on landscape painting and techniques. Also
for her friendliness, knitting us together as a group.'

'I have learned a great deal from Helen about colours and been
inspired to use them more boldly. Helen works so hard to help us
all, no-one is left out.'

'I go away full of enthusiasm to play with my paints and know I can
produce something I will like. I am looking at shapes and colours
with a new eye and am going to have fun experimenting with it all. ’

Painting Holidays 2015

In the autumn Helen will be running a
landscape painting holiday on the beautiful Greek island of
Paxos - a lovely time of year to visit the island when the
water is at its warmest and there are few tourists around. She will
also be leading two walking and sketching holidays in
Sedbergh and the Isle of Wight - around 3
miles of walking with plenty of stops to sketch and paint. In
November she’ll be running a Portrait Painting Course
in which you can use your own photos of family and friends, based in
Church Stretton in Shropshire - there will be plenty of advice on
technical aspects and inspiration looking at the work of other
artists. All the holidays are ideal for single travellers as they
are very sociable, and non-painting partners are welcome.

information.
